STUDIO
The emBODY Studio is the training wing of emBODY project, where performers, emerging artists, and educators train in the emBODY Performance Method.
Studio classes use embodied storytelling, consent-forward practice, and a justice-centered lens to build freedom, presence, and authenticity in performance.
This is the place to look for current and upcoming classes, intensives, and
teacher training workshops
Training for freedom, presence, and authenticity.
​
The emBODY Studio is the home of our training and practice, where the emBODY Performance Method meets the room.
​
Here, classes, workshops, and residencies take shape through our core values of embodied storytelling and the pillars of freedom, presence, and authenticity. The Studio uses body culture centered training, physical theatre, and ensemble-based exploration to help artists:
​
-
Develop technical and embodied skills rooted in their own lived bodies.
-
Recognize and disrupt habitual patterns that limit expression and choice.
-
Deepen the connection between thought, sensation, and action in performance.
This is where the work takes root.
​
The emBODY Studio is both a training ground and a creative home, offering artists a space to connect, unlearn, experiment, and return to the body as the source of story, power, and possibility.
Adult Classes
emBODY Performance Training (Adult)
emBODY Performance Training is an ensemble-based class for performers and movers who want to deepen their physical storytelling, breath awareness, and presence. Sessions weave together movement scores, partner work, and reflection grounded in the emBODY Performance Method.
Movement for Storytelling (Adult)
Movement for Storytelling is designed for actors, dancers, and interdisciplinary artists who want to connect physical choice to narrative and character. The class introduces accessible movement tools, basic compositional structures, and embodied approaches to text that support both stage and studio work.
Devised Performance Lab (Adult)
Devised Performance Lab is a process-focused space for artists who want to generate new material from the body’s truth. Participants build text, movement, and image through collaborative scores, improvisation, and guided experimentation, with an emphasis on freedom, presence, and ensemble care.
Young Artist Classes
Foundations in emBODIED Storytelling
Foundations in Embodied Storytelling introduces young artists to the core tools of presence, physical awareness, and creative risk. Through games, exercises, and short composition activities, students learn how breath, posture, gesture, and voice support clear, honest storytelling onstage. No prior experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to move.
Young Artist Intensives
Young Artist Intensives are short, focused labs held during school breaks and summer. Each intensive dives into a specific theme or skill set, such as ensemble-building, movement for character, or creating original short pieces from lived experience. Intensives are designed to give young artists a concentrated dose of training and creation time in a supportive studio environment.
